Four provincial governments are pushing ahead with a plan to develop nuclear power in Canada. Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick and Alberta have released their strategic plan to expand the nuclear industry through the development of small modular reactors (SMR). SMRs are, as their name implies, much smaller than a traditional nuclear reactor. The provinces' strategic plan aims to position Canada as a global exporter of SMR technology for use in both on-grid and off-grid applications. The plan follows an earlier feasibility study into using SMR technology for Canada's energy while curbing GHG emissions.
